The entrance and reception area are clean and bight, front desk staff were friendly. We had a room overlooking the beach area and hotel swimming pool. You have two choices at this hotel: Rooms facing the lake, or facing the beach.

The units are very large. It feels like you're in a condo. Full-size fridge, stove & double sink! The rooms were clean, though a touch spartan. If it were me, I would not have gloss paint on the walls, but I guess it's that way for durability, as are many hotels wall finish. Nice large balcony. Just a small gripe; no TV in the bedroom, but a good TV in living room.

My wife likes two pillows - there was only one each. I called the front desk and I offered to collect two extra pillows myself as i figured it would be quicker & it was just a short walk away. No problem, they were there waiting and given with a smile.

The location of the hotel is perfect & just a short walk to the square, but best of all, there's a restaurant directly across the street with the delightful name of Willie & Dick's! It's nothing fancy and very reasonably priced. We had dinner and breakfast there which were both excellent and the staff were very friendly.

There had been a pretty major fire in one of the hotel sections on the lake side in July 2011. Unfortunately our section was immediately next to this & we could see the burnt-out hulk as we entered and left our room. However, we could see that contractors were giving estimates for demolition and/or reconstruction of this section, so it should not be too long before this is improved. One could always ask for a room away from this area anyway. The exterior generally could do with some touch-up - especially the black metal railings all over the complex, but the area around the main entrance is very pleasant and parking is abundant.

All-in-all, perfectly adequate for the money, and yes, I would stay there again and would recommend.
